Got my trunk bar and rear strut bar in today.

Real easy to do.

First, take off the trunk lining.

Should look like this

For the rear trunk bar, there are two sticker looking black things covering up the whole, just snap it off, and put the bar and tighten the screw in it.

Once you are putting everything back together, you have to do some major modification to the cover that goes on the back, where the trunk hatch is. You basically have to cut the whole bottom part just below the hole where the plugs go in.

After that, its the rear strut. It sucked to making the holes on the lining, but we managed to do a pretty ok job. Came out looking nice. Here is it.

[YSLBTT]

from andrew at dyno4mance. trunk bar is dyno4mance. the strut is mitsubishi.

If I didn't have a oem sub right there I would have already thought about getting one too. I had one in my civic and loved it.

I had to uninstall my sub as well. im buying another one though and plugging it in. im buying one of maybe 400 or 500 watts. since its all wired in already, just gotta make the connection where the old one was. jrs brother has a bazooka he's gonna give me or let me borrow or sell me not sure.

[TripperFx3]

Does he have anymore? :D

[YSLBTT]

cusco triangular strut

[em1toevo]

That is very nice! I also like the cf cusco rear strut bar. I want to get it after I finish with performance mods.

[drtyIX]

yeah i got a deal on it at nopi last year. he wanted $275 for it and i told him i only had $250. its to different pieces you have to buy and put together. i believe cusco sells them both for around $300 total. very easy install.
